Today in Berlin, Facebook launched their AI Research Partnership Program -- a new effort to support artificial intelligence research at universities using state of the art
computing hardware, software and expertise provided by Facebook. Read more about this research from the statement released by Facebook:
AI is one of the technologies that I’m most excited about. Building machines that can learn the way humans do will let us create new tools to dramatically enhance humanity’s potential. AI will save lives by diagnosing diseases, making cars safer, and unlocking new insights about our planet and universe.
Our first collaboration through the FAIR Partnership Program is with Professor Klaus-Robert Müller at TU Berlin. His laboratory is using AI to analyze medical scans to extend our understanding of breast cancer. We’re going to provide 32 GPUs in four state of the art servers to TU Berlin that will allow this research to go faster. In total we plan to provide 200 GPUs to research institutions across the EU.
All of the research carried out through FAIR is shared openly with the rest of the global scientific community, so the data and insights we uncover through this partnership will move the entire AI field forward. We’re excited to invest in pioneering German and European research that can improve all our lives. Here’s a photo of me with Yann LeCun, who leads Facebook AI Research, at our announcement today.
